1 Snow and Ice in Art and Literature By Sharon Jeffus 2014 Taking a topic such as snow and ice through a variety of master artist s interpretation is a very interesting and educational experience. When you do a picture on a subject you love, you do your own interpretation of the subject. Just as a poet interprets and helps us appreciate a particular place, an artist does a similar thing. We are going to do a study of different master works of art whose topic is snow or winter. Ivan Aivazovsky, Russian Romantic painter, did the winter landscape below. Because cool colors are blue, green and violet, most snow scenes are cool color compositions. Using different values of the color blue creates a cool color composition.

2 Franz Schreyer, ( ), did the winter landscape above. In order to create a picture similar to the one above you need to do the background first. Try to replicate the colors of blue above in the background, and then put on the trees. Notice the variety of color on the trees. Below you see nine values of the color blue. Experiment with any medium and create different values of the color blue.

3 Gustave Courbet did the picture Winter in the Jura below. This picture is a study in contrast and texture. What is the center of interest? What do you look at first in the picture? Courbet has a totally different style than the previous picture. He led the Realistic movement in the 19th century, moving away from the Romantic depictions of landscapes. How do you feel when you look at this picture?

4 Camille Pissarro, did the picture Road to Versailles, in He was a leader in the Impressionist movement in art. A lack of detail is seen in Impressionism. August Macke did St Mary Im Schnee below. It is a picture of the city in the snow. Do you notice all the geometric shapes? Macke was an Expressionist. How do you feel when you look at the picture? In Expressionism colors can be wild and crazy and not at all realistic. How would you compare the two cityscapes on this page? Which style do you like? `

5 Paul Bodifé did the picture Rimy Forest below. This is a snow scene done in warm colors. The sun creates a warm glow to the snow. Do you like the warm colors in the snow scene landscape, or do you like using cool colors? Pieter Brueghel the Younger did the picture below Winter Landscape with a Bird-trap. He was a very famous painter in the 1500 s. Notice the atmospheric perspective. The sky is darker at the top and lighter at the horizon line. Notice how the land gets lighter in the distance. In the picture below, Off the Greenland Coast under the Midnight Sun, done in 1873 by William Bradford, we see the use of complementary colors. Purple and yellow are across from each other on the color wheel. Using these colors creates a very balanced composition. In

6 using different mediums you discover that you can actually shade using the complement. You can shade an orange with blue, a banana with yellow, and an apple using red. Do you see the way the artist uses highlights of yellow in the purple snow?

7 Hans Christian Anderson, ( ) was an important Danish writer who wrote many poems, plays, and novels, but is best known for his fairy tales. He wrote two very seasonal stories regarding the snow. One was The Little Match Girl: Below you can see Ann Anderson s illustration of this story.

8 Today Frozen is a very popular movie. Read The Snow Queen and compare the stories. Story.htm Ann Anderson also did the picture below to illustrate the story of the Snow Queen. Which of these two pictures do you like the best? Why?

9 Can you think of a good illustration to the poem below? What colors will you use to illustrate fire and ice? For an interesting website that shows 15 of the best snow scenes in art go to: You can even see Bob Ross showing students how to paint snow. Enjoy art and enjoy the season! Here are two wonderful poems by Robert Frost on the snow and also snow and ice. Do you think that one of the paintings we have seen goes with one of these poems? Why? Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Fire and Ice by Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. According to one of Frost's biographers, "Fire and Ice" was inspired by a passage in Canto 32 of Dante's Inferno. Sometimes one work of literature or art can inspire another one. Do a picture of snow and ice and then write a poem to go with it. Enjoy art and literature!
